HILT IV : subject interoperability through building and embedding pilot terminology web services
A report of work carried out within the JISC-funded HILT Phase IV project, the paper looks at the project's context against the background of other recent and ongoing terminologies work, describes its outcome and conclusions, including technical outcomes and terminological characteristics, and considers possible future research and development directions. The Phase IV project has taken HILT to the point where the launch of an operational support service in the area of subject interoperability is a feasible option and where both investigation of specific needs in this area and practical collaborative work are sensible and feasible next steps. Moving forward requires detailed work, not only on terminology interoperability and associated service delivery issues, but also on service and end user needs and engagement, service sustainability issues, and the practicalities of interworking with other terminology services and projects in UK, Europe, and global contexts
The INEX 2010 Interactive Track: An Overview
In the paper we present the organization of the INEX 2010 interactive track. For the 2010 experiments the iTrack has gathered data on user search behavior in a collection consisting of book metadata taken from the online bookstore Amazon and the social cataloguing application LibraryThing. The collected data represents traditional bibliographic metadata, user-generated tags and reviews and promotional texts and reviews from publishers and professional reviewers. In this year’s experiments we designed two search task categories, which were set to represent two different stages of work task processes. In addition we let the users create a task of their own, which is used as a control task. In the paper we describe the methods used for data collection and the tasks performed by the participants
Overview of the INEX 2009 Interactive Track
In the paper we present the organization of the INEX 2009 interactive track. For the 2009 experiments the iTrack has gathered data on user search behavior in a collection consisting of book metadata taken from the online bookstore Amazon and the social cataloguing application LibraryThing. Thus the data are more structured than in previous years’ experiments, consisting of traditional bibliographic metadata, user-generated tags and reviews and promotional texts and reviews from publishers and professional reviewers. Through monitoring searches based on three different task types the experiment aims at studying how users interact with highly structured data. We describe the methods used for data collection and the tasks performed by the participants. Some preliminary results of the interaction analysis are reported
Overview of the INEX 2008 Interactive Track
This paper presents the organization of the INEX 2008 interactive track. In this year’s iTrack we aimed at exploring the value of element retrieval for two different task types, fact-finding and research tasks. Two research groups collected data from 29 test persons, each performing two tasks. We describe the methods used for data collection and the tasks performed by the participants. A general result indicates that test persons were more satisfied when completing research task compared to fact-finding task. In our experiment, test persons regarded the research task easier, were more satisfied with the search results and found more relevant information for the research tasks

Arquivo e Medição da Web Portuguesa
Nacional. O projecto visa preservar a informação publicada na Web para as gerações vindouras à semelhança do que é feito com as publicações impressas nacionais. A disponibilização de serviços eficientes de pesquisa e análise da informação arquivada é essencial para que o Arquivo se torne uma ferramenta usada por todos os cidadãos.
Em Fevereiro de 2008 realizou-se a primeira recolha da Web portuguesa, tendo sido realizadas medições quantitativas. Segundo os resultados obtidos, a Web portuguesa é constituÃda pelo menos por 56 milhões de conteúdos, o que corresponde a 2,8 TB de informação
ir_metadata: An Extensible Metadata Schema for IR Experiments
The information retrieval (IR) community has a strong tradition of making the
computational artifacts and resources available for future reuse, allowing the
validation of experimental results. Besides the actual test collections, the
underlying run files are often hosted in data archives as part of conferences
like TREC, CLEF, or NTCIR. Unfortunately, the run data itself does not provide
much information about the underlying experiment. For instance, the single run
file is not of much use without the context of the shared task's website or the
run data archive. In other domains, like the social sciences, it is good
practice to annotate research data with metadata. In this work, we introduce
ir_metadata - an extensible metadata schema for TREC run files based on the
PRIMAD model. We propose to align the metadata annotations to PRIMAD, which
considers components of computational experiments that can affect
reproducibility. Furthermore, we outline important components and information
that should be reported in the metadata and give evidence from the literature.
To demonstrate the usefulness of these metadata annotations, we implement new
features in repro_eval that support the outlined metadata schema for the use
case of reproducibility studies. Additionally, we curate a dataset with run
files derived from experiments with different instantiations of PRIMAD
components and annotate these with the corresponding metadata. In the
experiments, we cover reproducibility experiments that are identified by the
metadata and classified by PRIMAD. With this work, we enable IR researchers to
annotate TREC run files and improve the reuse value of experimental artifacts
even further.Comment: Resource pape
